ROCHESTER, Ind. (AP) — A Delaware company wants to build a biodiesel refinery on a 32-acre site in Fulton County just east of another area that has already been rezoned for a proposed ethanol plant.

The rezoning request by Green Fuels LLC is scheduled to be heard Feb. 25 at a meeting of the Fulton County Area Plan Commission. The plant eventually would produce 20 million gallons of biodiesel fuel a year and employ 15 to 18 people, said Shane Blair, executive director of the Fulton Economic Development Corp.

Blair said Green Fuels has secured an option on the property owned by Jimmy and Suzanne Swan at the southwest corner of Indiana 110 and County Road 200 East and expects to close on its financing before July.

Indiana Renewable Fuels also has proposed an ethanol plant near the Green Fuels site and the County Line Landfill.
